2 Best Bars in Parkway Museum District and Fairmount Park, Philadelphia

Some time at this welcoming part-industrial, part pub-cozy bar and restaurant may indeed produce the sense of comfortable well-being implied by the name, especially for those who try its clever cocktails or the creative craft beers (like a lemon meringue IPA) producted on-site by Brewery Techne. Also notable are many nonalcoholic drinks, including a popular list of mocktails. Oysters, fries, meat and vegetarian boards, burgers, and sandwiches fill out the menu, and brunch is available weekends. 

Besides an evening of live jazz, purchasing a ticket for a performance in the club's intimate 75-seat, modern-industrial space reserves a table so you can order drinks and good upscale Southern fare (separate cost) before and during the show. It's a nice setting for hearing different jazz styles from local, regional, and global artists; the dress code is dressy casual. The club shares a menu with South Restaurant, a separate space in the same building.
